    Leicester have been a pretty good club to support this century
    Won EPL title.
    Won FA Cup
    Won League Cup
    Won Community Shield
    Quarter finals of Champions League
    Semi finals of Conference League
    Twice promoted to the EPL
    Once promoted from League 1
    Relegated 3 times from the EPL
    Relegated once from the championship.

    Perfect. Have to have the bad times to appreciate the good times.

      I see Sevilla bet AS Roma in the Europa League final. Remarkable record they have there - they've made the final 7 times since 2006 and won all of them. Are they the best not-quite-good club in Europe?

        Remarkable record for Sevilla - 5 of the last 10 Europa Leagues won by them in a competition you have to qualify for by being good but not too good. In 3 of those 10 seasons they were in the last 16 of the UCL instead.

        Before this season, Sevilla have finished between 4th and 7th in La Liga for 9 consecutive seasons.

          Counting next season 46 teams have appeared in the EPL. That's pretty good going as it's almost half the top 4 Divisions. Only 4 teams will have spent a single season in the PL and two of them will be Luton and Coventry.

          For all their successes and failures (noted by @Kiwipie above) Leicester have only spent 14 seasons at the top level which places them 14th equal on the appearances table.

              Two down, one to go for Man City. And that's the big prize!

                        @KiwiPie OK I have updated my spreadsheet to include the seasons prior to 2000

                        There are now 51 teams that have featured in the EPL since its inception in 1992.

                        The five additions are
                        Barnsley (1 season)
                        Blackpool (1)
                        Bradford (2)
                        Sheffield Wednesday (8)
                        Swindon (1)

                        Here they all are with my arbitrary classification into bands

                          Ange Postecoglou seems to be firming as the new Spurs manager. It's quite the journey from the A-League.

                            He has a pretty impressive record, will be interesting to see how he does. Wonder if he can do anything to keep Kane on board.

                              @Cyclops Are Spurs better off cashing in Kane for the rebuild project? FWIW that's Micah Richards opinion. I can see the logic.

                              Surely Kane has to go. What's in it for him staying at Spurs? Surely the best he could hope for is a Cup run? Kane should go somewhere he can win trophies.

                                As a supporter I couldn't begrudge him wanting to leave to chase pots. But I'd prefer to send him to Real Madrid than for him to stay in the UK

                                  He has a job to repair the morale and culture after the end of the Conte era. We have some good players who underachieved this year, so he needs to get them playing better. But Levy will need to give him some pieces, we need at least one CB and some FBs because last year we couldn't stop anyone

                                    @canefan The only place he could go for trophies in England is Citeh and they already have their unstoppable goal-scoring cyborg. He goes to Man U and he gets a League or FA Cup each season - hardly a guarantee of "trophies". He couldn't possibly go to Arsenal and 'Pool don't play with a striker.

                                    His only option has to be overseas - BM or RM surely?

                                        RM and Ancelotti want Kane so that's where he'll end up if Levy has his way.

                                        Kane wants Man U so he can break the EPL goal-scoring record.

                                          I think "Big Ange" will want to play a high-paced pressing game with Spurs as opposed to their largely counter-attacking style of recent years. Not really sure Kane fits in with that system - he always seems to have had the freedom to do what he wants at Spurs rather than fitting into the system. Ange may see it as good business to take the money now rather than have the problem of losing him next summer.
